Getting Monotonous.

1T might be in place to call the atten-
tion of the postal clerks on the Narrow
Gauge foad to the fact that while the
best we can expect is to get Portland
mail three times week, it is extremely
annoying to have them, from some
cause or other, fail in getting our mail
to US that often. 1t has been intimated
that prohibition would have a good
effect for us in this direction, as these
clerks evidently get terribly muddled
up; so much so as to get their regula-
tion caps mixed up with the mail mat
ter. Postmaster Montague had the
pleasure of returning one of their caps
a few mornings since. Why are these
things thusly, Uncle Sam?

Later on, when in bloom, stock may
eat it without danger. The usual re-
medy il to give lard or oil to stock
when suffering from its noxious effects
and when taken in time they can

Making Farm Life More Attractive.

Those who have given the subject at
tention have noticed how much more
attractive to young men stock farm
is than one wholly devoted to grain
raising. There IS q pleasure connected
with rearing the improved breeds of
live stock, that makes those engaged in
this business more contented. This
furnishes an opportunity for the exer-
else of skill and Judgement very differ
ent from what is required in the mere
cultivation of ordinary field crops.
II may be safely stated that "a major
young stock, and if given an oppcrtun-
ity TO care for animals in which they
can take some pride, there will be less
disposition TO seek other pursuits. 1t
must be borne in mind, however, that
this applies to improved stock, and the
farmer that goes on rearing scrubs,
while his neighbors have herds and
focks more pleasing TO the eye, and
more profitable IS well, should not be
surprised TO find that his sons, as they
grow older, see the difference and be-
come dissatisfied. as they realize what
contrast there is between their neigh
kor's stock and that at home. In these
days of very reasonable prices for all
kinds of well-bred stock, the farmer who
fails to avail himself of the favorable
opportunity to improve his common
stock, If he has such, Is pursuing the
most short-sighted policy.

EDITOR COURIER. - Dear Sir:
Through your columns I desire to
congratulate the citizens of Union
county upon two items Of great inn
portance in the educational aspects
Of the county.
First, l take great pleasure in say
ing that upon examination. 1 have
seen nothing SO complete in every re-
spect as the report Of your county
superintendent. 1t presents the
condition OF your schools as most
encouraging, and reveals a public
sentiment in their favor that, with
a iudicious and faithful supervision
of schools, has raised the standard
of teachers and schools, until I be-
lieve | can safely say no county in
the northwest has a more efficient
system of schools nor a better work
ing class Of teachers, conscientious
and we'll instructed in their profess
sion. :.
Second, the new schedule or roll
book being now introduced, is SUI
perior to any ! have before seen in
use in any of the six states in which
l have taught, BY its use the::smallest
district, and the farthest from the
center Of population, may share
equally with the town and high
schools in making and preserving a
record Of work done and ofadvance-
ment made from term to term. A
new teacher need no more work in
the dark as to what has been done,
for in the schedule she may have it
before her, and has the record of ev-
cry pupil. School boards and pat
rons have, in that, a synopsis of
what the teacher mas done, and no
better criterion can be given as to
the merits of the teacher. Iprophe-
sy that this book is going to do
more towards securing good teach
ers for the schools and securing
continued employment in the same
school for the teachers, than any
other agency that can be employed.
Through this the board cal, tell
when they have a superior instruct
or. This too, will save a great loss
Of time and secure steady and con.
tinued advancement from the low
est grade in the rural schools to the
highest In the high schools. I can
not forbear, in justice, to say that
back of all this, you have a plain
and unassuming but most. efficient
county superintendent. More than
half unconscious Of all he is doing
for his county and for the territory,
he is satisfied to do his every duty
well and carefully, unchecked by
opposition and without other re-
ward than the satisfaction Of seeing
his schools and teachers on the
move upward. 1. A. SABIN,
University of Dakota.

Sioux City Journal, 81: The ven

Hines was troubled with a cold last
